Question

Which conclusion does Brutus' argument best

Answer 1

Answer:

I would go with:

Mark Antony’s life will be spared because he will be useless without Caeser.

Explanation:

The reason I‘m going with this one is because mentions that Antony ”is but a limb of Caesar. Let us be sacrificeres, but not butchers”

Therefore he is stating that Antony cannot do anything as he is just a part of Caeser and couldn’t cause problems.

SPOLIER ALERT:

They probably should have killed Antony :/

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Mark Antony’s life will be spared because he will be useless without Caesar.

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Explanation:

When Brutus says "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar", he compares Antony to a limb of Caesar. If Caesar is dead, his limbs would be useless, and still. Brutus says something similar in the end of the passage, "And for Mark Antony, think not of him, for he can do no more than Caesar’s arm when Caesar’s head is off." Basically, Brutus says to ignore Antony, because he is not a threat if Caesar is dead. He is like an arm of Caesar, which is useless if Caesar is dead. An arm cannot move without the head.
